My partner and I attended a wedding in Wollongong in September and chose to stay at Rydges Wollongong. From the moment I phoned to make the reservation, to check out, I have nothing but praise for the staff and the hotel. What a difference helpful staff make! We arrived and were greeted by a lovely smile at reception, I think... more

Lovely room in terms of the decor and cleanliness (I got one of the refurbished rooms) but got a corner room which was a little squashy. The service destroyed my experience here and actually left early. I was misquoted over the phone, even though I called to confirm twice, nobody picked it up. On the day I was due to... more

Booked as mystery hotel through last minute for $100. Was pleasantly surprised with the room 407 which even had views of the ocean . Had dinner and breakfast in restaurant and the food was superb.The calamari entree and lamb shanks main (only $20) was one of the best I have had in any restaurant. I ordered a bottle of red... more

I haven't even stayed at Rydges Wollongong but have been informed I will be charged for one night as I had to cancel within 24 hours due to my son's football game being called off at the last minute due to bad weather. Tiffany at the hotel refused to make any attempt to see if the room could be sold... more

My wife and I only stayed one night. this was on a Friday night, we didn't attempt to park in the hotels security carpark as we had a 4x4 vehicle and had read comment by someone else with 4x4 vehicle who couldn't fit in due to height restrictions, so we parked across the road, no problem as there were heaps... more

After reading some of these reviews, after we`d booked, I was pleasantly surprised to find a clean and modern room. Yes there was traffic noise but it didn`t keep us awake as it tailed off at night. Location was excellent for us as we had arrived by train. (2 mins walk) and all we wanted e.g. Mall. restaurants and seafront... more

We purchased some reasonably priced vouchers when Rydges were having a sale and decided to spend Easter in Wollongong. We arrived at the hotel and was presently surprised by the entrance and foyer. The receptionist was very pleasant. We were unable to park our 4WD in the undercover parking as it was too high - be warned - so our... more

We stayed in this hotel over the weekend and did'nt come across these reviews until after we had left. Thats lucky as we could have been given a real bum stear. The hotel is fine, sure it's a little old and sure, it's not in the best part of town. But the staff were fantastic and the room and the... more

I thought staying at the Rydges you would expect a certain standard.....well obviously not. Our room was not clean and was very old and tired. The staff were very nice but that wasn't enough for me. There were cigarette butts on our balcony and it was covered in dirt. There were hairs all over the bathroom floor and it was... more
